How to Dress up White Walls
As a painting company, we're a big fan of color. We like to paint our reality as vibrant as possible. Not everyone feels how we do, especially when it comes to their home or office. If you prefer to paint your home in shades of white, MDF supports you! Shades of white can simplify your home while giving you the freedom to add other colors for decor. We always offer free estimates, sample painting, and of course, our Pinterest page will always provide inspiration. For some quick hints you can read our advice below:
- Mix up the textures: White can be a neutral background to add a bit of shine from metallic pieces and mix them with faux fur or velvet. Adding these types of decor shows your personality off in a chic way.
- Add vintage next to modern: Sticking to a period theme when you have white walls may leave something to be desired. Mix the vintage vanity with your luxury gold and marble end table.
- Warm accents: Using warm-toned accent colors and soft fabrics create a cozy feel instead of crisp and sterile when using white. They break up the monotony and add depth. Warm lighting from lamps will add to this effect, so don't rely solely on overhead lighting.
- Bring in the greens: Adding plant life, whether real or faux, adds some character and a literal breath of fresh air. Plants that flower add extra colors into the background that are subtle and unique. Even plant-based art such as flowers or fruit painting adds a pop of color.
- Using complementary colors for trims or other accents: Pops of black or grey shades will help define a white room. It has a grounding effect when used sparingly.
- Use fun shapes when decorating: With the white wall backdrop, using out-there shapes or decor is a way to bring your personal touch to any room.
